Im practicing night photography and placing my pics up on Tumblr.

I am happy to give out high res pics to those who want them for personal use.

Also open to any tips on improving my shots.

Cheers.

Very nice shots, what camera are you using?

GREAT pics!. thanks a lot for sharing!. that gate incident was strange! i read about it on the website and thought how lucky the fire fighters were to escape without injury! that was CM's away from being fatal! was good to see the light tanker from different angles!

Keep up the good work!

=D

Thanks guys.

Mainly using a Canon 350D and sometimes a 400D.

Only have the standard 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens.

Nice work !

What sort of settings you using on the camera, Turbo? Flashing lights are always hard to catch in the dark... !

Great stuff Turbo Keep em coming.

I am just using the "Nightshot" mode on full auto settings and standard on camera flash. I use out video camera light too.

Im not game enough to use manual mode yet though Im sure it will improve my shots.

As a heads up:
Most Sun Guns (video camera lights) have a colour temp of 3200 kelvin
The flashes on stills cameras have a colour temp of 5600 kelvin.
This means if you use a video camera light with a stills camera it can appear
to be a bit yellow (or warm)
You can always use colour correction gels on the lights to counter this.
